Busy Week

A lot has happened since I last blogged, so here is a look at what we have been up to.
We went camping with Kevin and Kaiann's family and some of their friends in Inkom, Idaho.
We did some riding- this picture is of Destrie and Collin in the Rhino.

The view from the top of the mountain.

Destrie hanging out at the campsite.

The kids played on the trailer- it was a pirate ship in their world!

Madee and Mercedes
Thanks for taking us guys...it was fun!!!

Madee's new look--- she got bangs. Very cute!

This is Kile's truck - a.k.a. "The Black Pearl"
The "Black Pearl" is a 1985, Ford F250.
Kile bought this truck about 9 years ago and it
has been a good truck- it doesn't owe us anything.
It was time for a new truck though- we need a seat
for the kids when we go riding. Also, the Expedition
sometimes struggles pulling the trailer and all the riding stuff.
So, after about 3 years of looking...Kile finally took the plunge
and bought a new truck!!!

Another thing that happened this week... Kile and I went to the Cheap Trick, Poison, and Def Leppard concert. It was such a good show. We had a lot of fun- no pictures to share though- we were not close enough to get any good shots. I have to admit though- I will take a farther away seat any day vs. being in the "pit" like we were at Motley Crue. Being the old person that I am- it was nice to have my own seat and my own space, with no one pushing and shoving me. I have assured Kile that this will be the last time I drag him to Poison with me. Seeing them 5 times is probably enough and it's time to be moving on. Don't get me wrong... I will still be "jamming" to Poison when I am home cleaning my house!!! They will always be my favorite 80's big hair band... and it's all because my friends took me to a Poison concert when I was 16 years old.
Oh, the good old days!!!

**Oh, and by the way... the girls are back in school. Perhaps I forgot to mention this because I was not ready for it to happen so soon. Where did the summer go?

**One more thing I forgot to mention-Kile is going to be the freshman baseball coach @Sky View
I am so excited for him. Kile is so talented when it comes to sports and I am glad that he will have a chance to do something that he is good at. Yay Kile!

A look back at our summer

We went riding with my parents. We took them
to the spot where we got stuck in the spring.

We went camping in Smithfield Canyon.
Eric and Kate came up for a few hours to roast
hot dogs and marshmallows with us.

Making tin foil dinners.

Kiley's summer activity that she picked was called
"Fright Night". We took the kids to see the Weeping Woman
at Logan Cemetary. The moon was not out that night so we
were unable to see her tears. After our trip through the cemetary
We went home and watched scary movies. Our favorite scary movie
was "The Others"-it's a good movie. Check it out.

Dinner at Willow Park with the Gibbons'.
After dinner, we did the River Walk Trail and
then went for ice cream @ Arctic Circle.

At the fair, eating a Navajo Taco

The kids and I did a local road trip. I took them
to Albertson's. This is where I worked for 9 years.
Albertson's has been sold and will not be in Logan anymore.
So, we went there bought drinks and snacks and I told them some
of my work stories.

From there we went to see the temple.

Then, we went to Gossner's to sample cheese
and buy milk boxes.

Our annual block party.

Horse Races

Destrie's summer activity was fishing.
He caught 4 fish. We let him keep 2.
He actually liked eating them.

Madee played softball this summer.
Kile was the assistant coach.

Another local road trip. We shopped for
socks at the Sock Outlet.

Visited Pepperidge Farm and got fish crackers.

Went to Casper's to get ice cream.

Kiley went to EFY- and loved it!

Kelly and Jeremey came over for a cook out.
Jeremey made green chili cheeseburgers that were tasty.

4rth of July weekend we went with the Lundahl's to their cabin.
We did a lot of riding. It was so much fun! Thanks for taking us guys!

We attempted to do a garden this year. We did
end up with some corn, a few peas and red potatoes.

All in all it was a pretty good summer- it just went too fast.
Our days of staying up late, sleeping in and doing whatever we want are over until next summer.
Kiley and Madee are back in school. Back to schedules and daily routines.
